Instructions

    1.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 6-cup muffin tin with a slice of deli chicken in each cup. If necessary, use a biscuit cutter or cookie cutter to trim the chicken slices into circles to fit the muffin tins. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella evenly into the base of each chicken cup.
    2.
    Dice the grape tomatoes and place approximately 1 diced tomato's worth into each chicken cup. Drizzle about teaspoon of balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes in each cup, ensuring even distribution.
    3.
    Bake the muffin tin in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow the Caprese Chicken Bites to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal before serving.
